Locals protest against Greek racist attacks

Residents of Perama have taken a stand against the recent anti-immigrant sentiment in the country.

Greece - GREECE ELECTIONS RACIST ATTACKS RISE AS ECONOMY STRUGGLES

As the economy struggles in Greece, attacks on immigrants are increasing.

Some politicians have blamed immigrants for making the Greek crisis worse and this week, a group of fishermen, originally from Egypt, were brutally attacked in their home near Athens.

But, locals from Perama are standing up against racism – just a day ahead of the country’s general election.
